    AbstractVertebral body tethering (VBT) is an innovative surgical technique used to treat juvenile and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The optimal anesthetic technique, including the preferred management of postoperative pain, is not known. In this case series, we describe 3 patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis who received either continuous erector spinae plane block (ESPB) catheters or intercostal liposomal bupivacaine for postoperative pain management after bilateral VBT via minithoracotomy.Copyright © 2021 International Anesthesia Research Society.
